Where do I start ? Lets take some positives.

The car is good attempt in automotive design.

The aerodynamics of Daewoo Matiz (Chevy Matiz), A small engine, Cute looks...similar to Mehran (Not to mistaken by alto)... Cute Looks.... Learner Drivers machine..

The car is tiny, but can accomodate..which is why its been marketed under the camouflagd name... Cherry QQ Comfortable.... Certainly not for a long haul with your family...unless you like aching knees, and overheated toes. Specially made uncomfortable, when our usual folks are smoking their hearts out.

I would not be so critical of the car though, had the price been placed correctly. This is why the Pakistani cars are never "Loved", and people perfer buying reconditioned Japanese builds rather than paying a fortune for cheap Tin and Plastic.

In general, I feel as people are becoming moreaware of their rights, they are also expecting value for their hard earned cash.

So, what will make me buy this car ?? better seats, ABS, a better braking system, CD player, Child Lock and a nicer ECM.

Dear reader,
I know you must be hearing from many people about how bad this car is. Well, since I have myself driven a lot many cars and have tested them to the fullest extend possible, I have a little to say about this master car.
The Suzuki Liana is first of all is not preferred because it is a fully electronic car. Ordinary mechanics can not handle the likes of such cars. Mechanics who don't even know what Torque means. The car has to be given to an authorized Suzuki workshop in order to be repaired.
The Liana is also not favored due to it poor acceleration on CNG. This only happens when you use AC while driving it on CNG. The car's Micro processor cuts down the power from the engine to sustain economy and therefore it lacks acceleration.
Why would I want to buy the Liana? Well, it is a complete car for it's price. It lacks a strong body and a good torque but here are the following points:

1. Suzuki Liana offers ABS and traction control at a very affordable price of 13 lakh.
2. It is spacious more than the Corolla or City.
3. The car is extremely resistant to over-heating even though it is a Suzuki.
4. It has a very stable Rpm system. The car reacts quickly to overall clutch use and gear shifting.
5. The brakes, although being drums at rear, are better than Corolla or Civic. The weight of the car allows it's break down force to stay on track and avoid skidding.
6. The Liana is faster than the Corolla or city and accelerates better on higher gears only on fuel.
7. The car's overall handling is better than the Civic! The traction control is so stable that even the Honda civic is no match for it's handling.

Why won't you buy the Liana?

1. The car depreciates it's value even after a month use by 1 lakh.
2. The car is only meant for soft handling unlike the Corolla. It can give you a lot of trouble and may need repairs if not handled with care.
3. The aerodynamics of the car are horrible for corner taking. The car losses it speed while taking a corner.

I am driving this corolla Xli 2010 for the last one week and also drove city 2010 manual.

corolla is bigger car , more aggressive looking than city. its distinctive look is because of Camry adaption of design and its excellent value for money.

When you drive you will have smile on your face because it gives you the satisfaction that whatever you spend on this car is not going to be wasted.

The number of corolla sale is highest in Pakistan even surpassing Suzuki mehran, cultus. and latest figure showed Gli having major chunk of 3500 monthly sales for the last 9 months straight. till after a year of introduction the resale value is so good that those who bought it for Rs. 11,99,000 can easily sale this for Rs. 12,50,000.

The maintenance is still cheap as with previous generation corolla as you can buy air oil filters of Pakistan made or Thailand made at very cheap price. It has V Vti engine which gives you power as and when wanted or you can drive normally to have in city 10.50 km per liter mileage. Its accelerator is so responsive that you need to get adjusted in first few days. This was the problem in US Corolla and Camry but here as the floor carpet was different in which it stuck there. The ride is not as hard as of the previous model. its spacious and it has power to get 5 adults or a family with reasonable mileage. Now comparison of Xli with City as both fall in same price and engine capacity. Honda City has very good comfortable ride with low engine noise. It has better fuel efficiency and can give you 11 plus km/ltr easily. Its only draw back is its acceleration which is normal and not as good as corolla. As city wants its car to be more fuel efficient rather than use for car racing. In Thailand you can change the car's rpm and throttle by using the laptop with an experience after market engineer. The city seems to be smaller from back. Its resale is very bad and its Rs. 100,000 down already if you try to resale it even after few months.The price difference is only Rs. 39,000. And even now dealers offering Rs. 35,000 discount on it. its interior is black which majority people dont like it . The indian and thailand version with V class is the beige interior. The toyota corolla is now having much more improved quality and now giving the city a tough time which is known for quality and comfort.
